I have been so eager to run barefoot in that beautiful, green grass! Amazing job done by everybody involved! I just hope the grass will recover quickly after the Austin City Limits Festival '09 is over.

Zilker park looks great; thanks C3! I Can't wait for ACL. Don't let this photo get distributed beyond Austin or everyone will move here and already many wish they lived here.

I'm glad that we can FINALLY use our park again. Except we can't use the soccer fields for soccer -- WTF?!?

If the only thing we can use our park for is the ACL Fest, make C3 pay for the whole park, not just the grass.

The above statement is a bald faced lie and the Parks Foundation should be ashamed of the fact that they are willing to perpetuate this myth. The taxpayers of the City of Austin paid for the sod, the irrigation system and the water. In return, C3 "promised" to make a $250,000.00 tax deductible donation to the City for the next ten years. So what happens if C3 goes bankrupt or simply decides to stop making their yearly donation? Well the taxpayers will be left holding the bag once again.
